I have been trying to make a TCPIP connection to any aprs2 server using
APRSPoint. I am a registered user of APRSPoint and am running version
4.1.0 on a XP Home edition with SP2 and all updates on my desktop
computer. I have a broadband connection to the internet.
Here is the situation. I have verified that my igatepw.txt file contains
the proper information. My Connect APRS Server Information window is:
Server: midwest.aprs2.net
Port: 14580
filter p/W
I have selected Reconnect and 25 times
Backup Server info:
Server: newengland.aprs2.net
Port: 14580
Filter: p/W
I have selected connect on startup.
When AP starts, I get the message "Connected to midwest.aprs2.net:14580"
on the status line. After approximately 1 minute the message changes to
"Connected to midwest.aprs2.net:14580[1]". This continues up to [25] and
then the message changes to the newengland.aprs2.net. This is all well
and good, but I never receive any position reports. I have discussed
this with Michael Cai and he basically confirms that my system is setup
properly. I have faithfully followed all his suggestions. I have yet to
receive any position reports.
Can anyone suggest anything further I can do? Should I try connecting to
some other server? If so, which one(s)?
Any enlightenment will be appreciated.
Vic
